The New Orleans Saints came within one play last season of advancing the NFC championship game. Had they done so, running back Alvin Kamara believes the Saints would have had little trouble reaching the Super Bowl.

In an expletive-laden Bleacher Report story posted Wednesday (Aug. 8), Kamara said the Saints would have "beat the (expletive)" out of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game "cause we was rolling."

"If we won," he continued, "I knew nobody as gonna stop us because we came all the way back."

The Saints rallied from 17-0 down against the Vikings and went ahead 24-23 when Wil Lutz made a field goal with 25 seconds left. The Vikings won with a 61-yard touchdown pass to Stefan Diggs that ended the game, a play that Kamara said was "one-in-a-million type (expletive)."

The Eagles routed the Vikings in the NFC title game and beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

The strong words from Kamara are likely to be brought up again when the Saints and Eagles play in Week 11 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Also in the story, Kamara referred to the 2017 season as an "experiment." He believes the full team knows what it is capable of in 2018.
